Wilson Road Improvements

Commuters traveling through the Humble and Atascocita areas can look forward to new lanes opening on Wilson Road in 2019.

Plans include widening a section of Wilson Road between Beltway 8 and Atascocita Road from a two-lane asphalt roadway to a four-lane concrete section with a sidewalk between Humble ISD’s Park Lakes Elementary and Viscaro Lane. Construction began in January and is scheduled for completion on Oct. 29, 2019.

“Once construction is complete, drivers should see their commute times drop significantly, especially during rush-hour traffic,” says Capital Improvements Projects Director Pamela Rocchi. “The upgraded roadway will also require less maintenance, since concrete has a longer lifespan than asphalt.”

While construction continues on Wilson Road, north and southbound drivers can take Woodland Hills Drive to access Beltway 8, Atascocita Road, Will Clayton, and FM 1960. The roadway opened in January to help relieve congestion along West Lake Houston Parkway and Wilson Road.

Improving Safety

Statistically, left turns are one of the most dangerous maneuvers a driver can make, but that may change with the introduction of a new, more intuitive traffic signal at select intersections within Precinct 4.
By the end of the year, Precinct 4 will begin replacing 43 traditional yield-on-green traffic signals with flashing yellow arrow left-turn signals. The new signals will improve traffic flow by giving drivers more opportunities to safely make left turns.
“This will be the first widespread flashing yellow arrow display conversion in Precinct 4,” says Pamela

Maintaining Our Roadways

It’s the start of mowing season and one of the busiest times of year for Precinct 4's Road & Bridge Department.
From March through December, Precinct 4's Road & Bridge Department mows along county roads to control weeds, not only for aesthetic purposes, but to improve drainage.
